Hi, I'm Lauren! Welcome to my blog! I'm a Maryland wedding and portrait photographer that loves beautiful light and has an obsession with the water.

Volt Restaurant Frederick Engagement Session : Jessica + Ryan

volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-22I sure hope Jessica likes pictures of herself laughing.  I would say about 90% of the photos from her and Ryan’s engagement session in downtown Frederick at Volt Restaurant are of her laughing at something goofy Ryan was doing or saying.  That’s when you know a session has gone well.  Like really well.  I basically just had to put them in a spot, sit back, and let them do their thing and adorableness happened.  I cannot wait to capture more of those smiles on their wedding day in December.  Ryan, I’m ready for some more dance moves and, Jessica, I’m ready to see the resulting laughter  😉

Ryan proposed to Jessica at Volt so it was obvious that that’s where we had to go for their engagement session.  It was actually pretty convenient because I had just been to Volt four days prior for a wedding (if you remember Megan and Steve’s awesome Volt wedding!) so I already knew that the patio area was going to be perfect.  The ivy covered bricks, beautiful wood farm tables, and the amazing front of the restaurant…..all within one tiny area.  It made it so easy.  I had them wander a little down the street after we were done at the restaurant just to get a tiny more variety but nothing compared to the charm of Volt.  Especially when you combine that charm with a couple that just embodies all those cute, fun interactions I look for, this engagement session was a total winner.

I have complete and utter confidence that there is no way you can look through these photos without a smile on your face  🙂    volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-1volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-4She started it  😉volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-2volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-5volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-6volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-8volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-10volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-11volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-13volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-14volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-15volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-16volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-17volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-18volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-19volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-20volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-24volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-26volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-27volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-31volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-33volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-34volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-37volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-38volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-28volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-30volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-40volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-41volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-44volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-45volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-49volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-51volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-52volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-54volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-56volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-57volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-58I asked them for one more set of photos…..just wrap around each other and walk towards me.  As soon as they started, a car drove by blasting its music.  Well, for Ryan, that means dancing begins.  Obviously.  Wasn’t quite what I had intended for the last set of photos but, I think for these two, it couldn’t have been any more perfect.  volt-restaurant-frederick-engagement-lauren-c-photography-63
